Steps to reproduce:

(1) Place Search portlet on a page
(2) Go to configuration, check Display Open Search Results, hit Save
(3) Close popup, search for some test, e.g. test
(4) scroll down to Open Search section
(5) hit Add Liferay as a Search Provider button

Result:
JavaScript error is raised saying Error: Permission denied for <http://localhost:8080> to call method Sidebar.AddSearchProvider, see screenshot, nothing happens.

Problem seems to be caused by the call in <portlet:namespace />addSearchProvider() in /html/portlet/search/search.jsp:192:

Liferay.provide(
    window,
    '<portlet:namespace />addSearchProvider',
    function() {
        window.external.AddSearchProvider("<%= themeDisplay.getPortalURL() %><%= PortalUtil.getPathMain() %>/search/open_search_description.xml?p_l_id=<%= themeDisplay.getPlid() %>&groupId=<%= groupId %>");
    },
    ['aui-base']
);
